Card selling fee calculator: Carousell vs eBay vs TCGplayer (SGD)
Enter the sale price and shipping in Singapore dollars. The calculator applies each platform's published seller fees and shows what you keep after fees and your postage.
Worked example
Selling a S$200 card with no shipping charged: a Carousell personal-account meet-up keeps S$200.00; on eBay.com, 13.25% + US$0.40 + 1.30% international fee leaves S$170.39; on TCGplayer, 10.75% commission + 3.5% + US$0.30 international transaction fee + 2% PayPal payout fee leaves S$167.69.

How it works
Carousell (Singapore): personal accounts are exempt from Carousell's service fee. Professional accounts pay 2.5% of each chat transaction, capped at S$30 - but only in a month when they reach S$500 of revenue (or 10 outbound chats/contact views from unique buyers) and the month's fee is at least S$10. Spending on Coins, Bumps (card payment) and CarouBiz that month is offset against the fee, so the 2.5% shown here is the most you would pay. Certified listings pay a platform fee agreed in the seller's contract (GST-inclusive), on item price plus delivery fee - enter yours.
eBay.com: Collectible Card Games carry a final value fee of 13.25% of the total sale up to US$7,500 and 2.35% above, plus US$0.40 per order (US$0.30 for orders of US$10 or less). Sellers registered in Singapore (eBay's "Rest of APAC") pay a 1.30% international fee.
TCGplayer: Level 1-4 sellers pay a 10.75% marketplace commission (capped at US$75 per product) plus a transaction fee, which is 3.5% + US$0.30 for international orders. International sellers paid via PayPal pay a 2% processing fee capped at US$20 (applied here to the payout). Fees were checked on 12 Nov 2026; platforms change them, so confirm on the linked pages.
